Sandy Lane

Just a 40-minute private transfer from Barbados Airport, Sandy Lane is the perfect base for a luxurious Caribbean holiday. With spacious suites and villas, gourmet restaurants, a decadent spa and scenic golf courses, it’s no wonder this is a favourite among superstar guests from around the world.

Your own Caribbean retreat

Take your pick from an array of generously proportioned rooms, suites and villas, all beautifully finished in marble and coral stone and showcasing the best of classic Palladian architecture. Relax and unwind on your own private terrace and enjoy breathtaking views over the enticing blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. All of the accommodation available at Sandy Lane evokes a sense of being in your very own tropical retreat, and for complete seclusion, you can even book a villa set in its own gardens.

A food lover’s paradise

Gastronomic delights await you at every turn in this luxury resort. From the gourmet cuisine of L’Acajou, which is perched on the oceanfront and is Sandy Lane’s signature restaurant, to the informal dining experience offered in Bajan Blue, which serves up a mouth-watering variety of Caribbean, European and Asian influenced dishes, there is something to suit all tastes. In addition to four superb restaurants, there are a host of elegant bars and lounges offering refreshing drinks day and night.

Unrivalled amenities

As you’d expect in such a highly acclaimed Caribbean resort, Sandy Lane boasts impressive amenities. Among other activities, you can test your golfing prowess on its three picturesque courses, select pampering treatments in the spa and enjoy a variety of non-motorised water sports in the crystal clear sea.

There’s also a fitness centre and tennis facilities, a children’s club for kids aged three to 12 and a ‘Den’ for teenagers that features foosball, pool tables and a range of other entertainment options

December to June are the best months for weather, having an average 29 degrees, low humidity and the lowest rainfall, with both increasing during summer and autumn.

How to get there

The frequency of flights to Barbados reflects the island’s unwavering popularity, with British Airways and Virgin Atlantic flying at least daily from Gatwick. The non-stop flying time is about 8 hours 30 minutes, the option of upgrading to the premium cabins, including First, making the journey almost (but not quite!) as pleasurable as the stay.

We have been using Azure to arrange our holidays for over 12 years.

Be it a return to our established favorites in Barbados and Dubai or a new and exiting destination chosen from Azures brochure it is always handled in a friendly and competent manner. The small details are not missed such as do we need late check out or early arrival, which can make such a difference after sometimes long hours travelling.
For us using Azure takes the uncertainty out of booking holidays.

We have been booking our holidays through Azure for 10 years and we can thoroughly recommend them.
The Azure team arrange amazing holidays, well chosen destinations and hotels with a tailored itinerary that runs like clockwork with so many wonderful extras, it really takes the time and stress out of planning. When the weather has disrupted our journeys, their 24 hour service has provided us with 5* rescues!
Nothing is too much trouble for Azure staff and the same goes for all the staff we have met on our Azure holidays which really are out of this world.
We continue to recommend your company and all your wonderful team and look forward to our next holiday with you.

My first experience with Azure was when they came to my rescue when my family and I were stranded abroad on holiday without accommodation, their professionalism and ability to make things happen at very very short notice was second to none.
They were very knowledgeable and were able to utilise their many relationships within the industry to get things resolved for me within an hour. I can't praise them enough for rescuing my family's holiday and making it a truly memorable time.
Since then the team always do their best to make my holidays the best they can possibly be based on their own vast travel knowledge and experiences. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and wouldn't use anyone else for luxurious travel.
